SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 344,051, dated June 22, 1886.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH W. LAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mountain View, in the county of Santa Clara, State of California, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter to be used as a Corn- Remedy, of which the following is a specification.

My composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: biniodide of mercury, two ounces; tincture of cantharides, two ounces; oil of origanum, two ounces; oil of Wormwood, two ounces; oil of turpentine, two ounces; gumcamphor two ounces; spirits of ammonia, two ounces;alcohol, one quart. These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation, and the composition is to be left standing for about twelve hours before using.

In using the composition it is applied with abrush to the corn several times successively, if necessary, and the corn is heated to dryness by some suitable means, as by holding it near the fire, or by forcing hotair upon it by means Serial No. 193,069. (No specimens.)

'ot'a bellows. The corn becomes soft, and it 2 is then filed off or sandpapered down until it has entirely disappeared. If there is any soreness, it is removed by the application of the composition, and the treatment is entirely painless. It may be used for corns on the 0 lower animals as well as on human beings.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is
